Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods for playing a casino game wagering on the outcome of random and/or unknown events, such as the outcome of a game pieces and/or tiles shake and/or throw. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for playing a casino wagering game using game pieces such as tiles or cards with different outcome indicia.
  • the method and apparatus of the present invention solves the problems confronted in the art in a simple and straightforward manner.
  • What is provided is a new casino game of Shake Plate or Lio Pai where players wager against random outcomes regarding a set of game pieces (including but not limited to tiles and/or cards), and providing a quick revelation of the final game result.
  • the players each make selected wager(s).
  • the game pieces are randomized, and the outcome is determined to select winning and losing wagers.
  • each game piece has a plurality of possible outcomes.
  • each game piece has two possible outcomes (first and second outcomes) and a plurality of these game pieces increases the number of possible final outcomes for the entire set of randomized game pieces.
  • each game piece can be a tile having two sides of first and second indicia, such as first and second colors (e.g., white and black).
  • players will have a set of wagers and/or bets regarding the randomized outcome of the set of game pieces.
  • players can select bets from one or more bets contained in the set of allowed wagers and/or bets.
  • multiple bets or wagers are allowed for each player, including the possibility of making inconsistent bets or wagers.
  • only a single bet or wager for each player is allowable.
  • final bets will be called and game play will start.
  • the method and apparatus begins with each player making a wager or set of wagers on a result regarding a random outcome from a plurality of game pieces, each game piece having a plurality of possible indicia. If a player's wager(s) is designated a winning outcome, the player receives a payoff based upon his wager(s) and if the outcome is a losing outcome, the player's wager(s) are lost. In one embodiment wagers are resolved by comparing the wagers placed to the event of the outcome.
  • the method includes the following steps: (a) providing a game table, the game table having a plurality of game pieces which can provide a random outcome; (b) players placing different wagers on the table by betting on the outcome of the game pieces; (c) shaking/shuffling the game pieces; (d) and revealing the outcome of the shake; (e) collecting losing wagers; and (f) paying winning wagers.
  • a last bet call is made between steps "c" and "d". In one embodiment the last bet call is the last chance to make bets.

  • step "e” is performed before step “f.” In one embodiment step “f” is performed before step “e.”
  • the method includes an additional step "g" of collecting the game pieces for another round of play.
  • step “d” the game pieces are placed on the table.
  • a top is removed from the shaking plate to reveal the game pieces.
  • step "d" the game pieces can be organized in groups of similar indicia. In one embodiment the groups can be separated from each other.
  • the outcome of the game pieces can be called out. In one embodiment a winner can be declared.
  • the method includes the following steps: (a) participating players placing their desired bets; (b) randomizing (preferably by shaking/shuffling) the game pieces (preferably six game pieces); (c) displaying the randomized game pieces having first and second indicia to reveal the winning outcome; (d) dealer(s) collecting all losing bets; (e) dealer(s) paying all outside winning bets; and (f) dealer(s) collecting the game pieces for the next round of play.
  • last bets are called before displaying the game pieces.
  • last bets are called before randomizing the game pieces.
  • last bets are called after randomizing the game pieces but before displaying the game pieces.
  • the method includes the following steps: (a) participating players placing their desired bets; (b) calling for last bets and then dropping game pieces (preferably six tiles) on the table (preferably on the center) to reveal the winning outcome (in one embodiment the tiles can be dropped from a specialized shaker; (c) dealer(s) collecting all losing bets; (d) dealer(s) paying all outside winning bets (which can include White/black line, Tie Line and the Odd and Even Combo bets); (e) paying all winning place bets (which can include the specific tile combination bets and the all White/Black bets); and (f) the game pieces being collected and placed into a shaker in preparation of the next round of play. Game Pieces
  • the game pieces can be tiles with first and second indicia on their two sides, which are placed in a shaker, and shaken to obtain a random outcome for each round of play regarding the number of first and second indicia appearing after being shaken.
  • the tiles can be monolithic or small rectangular or square in shape (such as those resembling conventionally available dominos).
  • the tiles can have a first colored side (e.g., black) and a second colored side of a color different from the first colored side (e.g., white).

In one embodiment 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, or more game pieces can be used. In various embodiments the total number of game pieces used can vary within the range between any two of the above listed set of total number of game pieces. In a preferred embodiment six game pieces are used having first and second indicia for first and second possible outcomes regarding each game piece. In one embodiment the game pieces can be cards with indicia on first and second sides. Randomization Event
